A review published in the journal Molecular Biomedicine provides a comprehensive overview of the METTL family, a group of methyltransferase-like proteins crucial for cellular function. METTL family ...

A new technology promises to enable more comprehensive investigations into how individual genes determine the appearance and behavior of cells. Researchers led by professor Veit Hornung at LMU's Gene ...

A systematic comparison shows that sequential and multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 workflows produce CHO cell lines with the same nine ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Scientists have developed a new way to coat mitochondria, the tiny structures that power our cells, while preserving much of their function. Researchers at two Italian institutions found that coated ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Methods like this can help scientists sort through potential drug candidates faster and with more biological detail.

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

Researchers were able to restore the function of neurons linked to cognitive function and information processing in mice that ...
